does someone know what the format of the VIN number is so one can tell what the build date is...?? the actual build #..? or what ever else info is in there...

Description Position
Region: 1
Country: 1-2
Manufacturer: 2-3
Model Specific: 4-8
Check Digit: 9
Year: 10
Assembly Plant: 11
Serial Number: 12-17

The only thing that would be different between the serial numbers in our Zs is Model Specific and Serial Numbers.

-Model specific = Z34D2 (Z34 is the current model of Z, D=? maybe assembly line, 2 is a check digit)

-Serial specific = 130000 (The first number tells you if you have the side sir bags or not, the last 5 numbers (the build number) gives you the number of car you have (this would be the 30,000th car))
